Too Much Caffeine, Not Enough Sleep

I was driving home from work tonight and heard a song on the radio that I have heard many times before. The DJ/radio announcer guy/whatever introduced the song as Lust for Life by Iggy Pop. And then the song started. And I realized that the words for the chorus are "Lust for Life... Lust for Life."

I have been thinking it was "Let's Go, Life!... Let's Go, Life!" As in: Come on, Life! You can do it! Ummm, yeah. I thought Iggy Pop was cheering for life.

But anyway, Preppy Girl's post the last Thursday reminded me of a trip to the dentist I had blocked from my mind forgotten about. My mom scheduled my sister and I for dentist appointments on Halloween one year in elementary school. No big deal, right? So the dental hygenists might wear cat ears or something. Whatever. What my mom did not count on was that my 60-year-old dentist might also dress up for Halloween. As a cyclist. And he would wear the full cycling uniform: tight shirt with spandex shorts. And then he might stand next to the patient's chair while chatting with my mom. Guess what level my head was at when I was in the patient's chair. If you guessed crotch level, you are correct!
